In accordance with Washington state law, dogs must remain on a lead of no greater than eight feet at all times. Schafer State Park was designed by the Washington Heritage Register and the National Register of Historic Places.

Owners should bring drinking water and a dog dish with them to ensure Fido remains well-hydrated. In addition to this, all owners must clean up after their pets and properly dispose of their waste, and thus, should bring poop bags with them from home.

Only those who have purchased a Discover Pass are granted access to the grounds. A Discover Pass can be obtained for $30 for an annual permit or $10 for a single day's use.
